Superb - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) 'Panzer' NCO-type shoulderstraps (as was specifically used on the black-coloured 'wrap-around'-tunics) as was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel eines Panzer-Regiments o. Abts.'
This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and nowadays actually rarely offered for sale! - pair of WH (Heeres) - I deem - early- (ie. mid-) war-period, NCO-type shoulderstraps (as was specifically produced for - and used onto! - the black-coloured, Panzer-'wrap-around'-tunics) as was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel eines Panzer-Regiments o. Abteilungs' (or: NCO and sergeant ie. tank-crew-member who served within a 'Panzer'-unit- ie. regiment) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The neat straps - which have the 'standard'-pattern, black-coloured- and/or: woolen-based 'upperdecks' - measure approximately 11,2 cms. in length each and have the desirable, bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured- and/or 'silk-like'-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Next to this they show the silverish-toned ('standard-issue'-pattern) NCO-braid and two (smaller-sized, zinc-based) pips period-attached. The neat straps come naturally mounted onto their functional tongues and do both show some minimal wear, usage and/or moderate age (as can be seen on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, in my opinion the fact that the NCO who wore this pair was 'field-promoted' something that can be corroborated by showing the (later by hand-added- and horizontally-mounted) stripes of differently-styled NCO-braid (as can be noticed on the pictures). This attractive pair was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands: it was worn by a 'Panzer'-NCO who kept and stored these insignia for decades. Simply a very attractive, original and/or fully matching, early- (ie. mid-) war-period NCO-type 'Panzer'-shoulderstrap-pair that can easily be graded 'rare' and that is nowadays almost impossible to encounter: great to use on any WH Panzer 'wrap-around'-tunic!
